WOMEN BUILD

Register today to help build lasting stability and independence for local women and their families.

Please contact Kim.Driscoll@habitatmwgw.org to create a fundraising team. To sponsor a team contact Deborah.Huegel@habitatmwgw.org.

Women Build brings the community together to help local low-income women and their families achieve a more stable and secure life through affordable homeownership. Over 70% of local Habitat homeowners are women.

All are welcome! While Women Build is focused on the inclusion of women in the work of building homes, the initiative does not exclude volunteers of any gender or gender identity, nor does it allow discrimination of any kind.
Your team of 8-10 will enjoy a meaningful, fun, and unique team experience.
All tools and materials provided.
Our trained construction crew will be there to guide you through the day. No experience necessary.
Gain new skills.
Make a tangible difference in the life of a local family.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE

Teams fundraise or are sponsored (or both) and then build for a day. This helps contribute to making Habitat homes affordable for our partner families.
We provide a secure, easy-to-use donation platform, fundraising tips, and content that can be shared with family, friends and colleagues.
Dates available year-round. We build Wed-Sat from 8:30AM – 4:00PM. Dates based on availability, first come, first served.

To register as a fundraising team or individual, email Kim.Driscoll@habitatmwgw.org.

HOME REPAIRS
Our Home Repair program conducts critical repairs so women and families can remain safely in their home with pride and dignity. The program focuses on health, life, and safety/code issues. Women Build teams can choose to participate in Home Repairs, which are essential for the safety of the respective homeowners.

HOME BUILDS
We have several home builds occuring right now! Do you have a group that wants to be part of building a home for a local family? Visit our current home builds page to see more:
